@paragraph-com/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Paragraph — expose your publication to AI agents in Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client.

Remote server (recommended)

Use the hosted server at mcp.paragraph.com — no installation or API key management required. You'll authenticate through your Paragraph account in the browser.

Claude Code

claude mcp add paragraph --transport http https://mcp.paragraph.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

    }
  }

Local server

If you prefer to run the server locally, you can use npx. Requires Node.js 18+.

npx @paragraph-com/mcp

Authentication (local only)

The remote server handles auth automatically. For local usage, set your API key via environment variable:

PARAGRAPH_API_KEY=your-key npx @paragraph-com/mcp

Or log in with the Paragraph CLI — the MCP server shares the same config:

npx @paragraph-com/cli login
npx @paragraph-com/mcp

Examples

Search and summarize posts on a topic

Prompt: "Search for posts about onchain governance and give me a summary of the top results"

The MCP server calls search-posts with the query. Claude receives the matching posts and synthesizes a summary of the key themes, authors, and publications.

Draft and publish a blog post

Prompt: "Write a post titled 'Weekly Update #12' about our new token-gating feature, then publish it"

The server calls create-post with the title and generated markdown content, creating it as a draft. After you confirm, it calls update-post to set the status to published, making it live on your publication.

Get subscriber analytics

Prompt: "How many subscribers does my publication have? Show me the most recent ones."

The server calls get-me to identify your publication, then get-subscriber-count for the total, and list-subscribers to return the latest subscribers with their details.

Answer questions about newsletter performance

Prompt: "What's my average open rate over the last 30 days, and which posts performed best?"

The server calls analytics-query with a scoped SQL query against post_analytics_summary, returning open rates, CTR, and views for each post. Claude summarizes the trend and highlights the top performers.

Explore the platform feed

Prompt: "What's trending on Paragraph right now?"

The server calls get-feed to retrieve the curated platform feed and Claude summarizes the top posts, their authors, and topics.

Manage post lifecycle

Prompt: "Show me my drafts and send a test email for the most recent one"

The server calls list-posts with status: draft to retrieve your drafts, then send-test-email with the latest draft's ID so you can preview the newsletter in your inbox before sending it to subscribers.
